Ok but I want to know what kind of partition size xboxhdm will try to create?I'll use it just to start a lock the HD? The partitions won't matter because XBPartitioner will destroy it all and rebuild with the correct size?

so i backup the original HDD, create the usb stick, boot on slax. all ok

but:

-the usb key needs to be mounted on /dev/sdb and /mnt/sdb1-when i start xboxhd,and choose the first option, it don't find the cdrom, (error ???) why does it needs the cdrom? is the cd mounted on a special folder?

I've trolled on here for about two years.My original modded box is dead (possible corrosion issue)

I bought a new (so to speak) box and I am attempting my first softmod/hotswap.My PC only has one IDE port and my CD/DVD is SATA.I gave up on xboxhdm 1.9 after reading about the lack of two IDE ports or being able to use a single IDE ribbon.

I am now trying to use xbobhdm 2.2, but I can't figure out how to run it.

Is there a viable tutorial on using this beast? Any help would be appreciated!
